Butler, 54, is free to interview after Pittsburgh’s Super Bowl loss. According to La Canfora, Butler is “intrigued” by the opening on Ken Whisenhunt’s staff, and “Steelers officials expect him to take it.” The Steelers’ organization is expected to grant Butler permission to interview with Whisenhunt when the Cardinals make that request.

Kind of sucks. He was supposed to be the next guy in line and I’ve heard nothing but glowing things about the guy.

BUT, if they can’t have him…

I’m not sure if it would work out or be something either side would be interested, but it would be AWESOME if they could possibly lure Kevin Greene out of Green Bay to take over once LeBeau steps down.

I’m sure he wouldn’t be ready yet, but neither is Dick, so in the meantime he could continue getting his feet wet as the Pack’s linebackers coach. Working with Capers now and playing under him during his Steelers days… man, what a good fit he could be.

Ah… me and my pipedreams.

P.S. Dear, PFT: People like geezohman are who give Steelers fans a bad rep. Please do not mistake him as our official spokesman. The Packers won the game. The Steelers didn’t lose it. Accept it and let’s look towards the future.
